A rare gin-based tiki drink: J. "Popo" Galsini won the 1967 IBA world cocktail championship with it. Jeff "Beachbum" Berry later brought the forgotten recipe back.
Missing something?
- No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
- No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
- No Passion Fruit Purée? Use Passionfruit Puree
- No Passion Fruit Purée? Use Passion Fruit (The pulp of 1 fruit is about 15 ml)
- No Velvet Falernum? Use Falernum (A sweeter, milder falernum style)
